4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Overview of Change: This document replaces PDC 1009 in its entirety. Significant 

revisions from the original proposal are highlighted. The highlighted updates are the result of 

comments received during staffing of PDC 1009 and PDC 1050A.

(1) This change establishes revised procedures for formatting the DLMS requisition 

transactions with impact to multiple functional processes. The focus of this change includes:

(a) revised procedures for ordering via DOD EMALL to allow customers using 

purchase card/credit card payment to also use standard MILSTRIP procedures for identification of the 

ship-to activity by Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) when the ship-to is other 

than the requisitioning activity (vice the current DOD EMALL procedures for clear-text addressing

employed because the DOD EMALL DoDAAC prevents inclusion of a different DoDAAC for the 

ship-to location),

(b) revised procedures for ordering via DOD EMALL to eliminate use of clear 

text addressing for the ship-to activity when the requisitioner is also the ship-to (vice the current DOD 

EMALL procedures for clear-text addressing employed partially because this allows for additional 

information to be included for direct delivery to the customer),

(c) DLMS-formatted orders requiring use of a mark-for party identified by

DoDAAC/RIC, text, or a combination of these, to ensure proper delivery to the requiring customer and 

enable enhanced DLA Distribution operated Materiel Processing Center (MPC) processing and 

validation of requisitions for authorized use of Force or Activity Designator (F/AD) I, 

(d) updated business rules for use of the signal code and population of the shipto and bill-to activity under DLMS, and

(e) compliance with policy, procedures, and all applicable data edits.

(2) This change eliminates authorization for the DLA Transaction Services Defense 

Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) to block transmission of supply and shipment status in 

response to requisitions originated in DOD EMALL that use purchase card/credit card payment. 

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 2
(3) In conjunction with the updated guidance for population of DoDAACs used for 

third-party billing, an enhancement is identified for inclusion of the bill-to DoDAAC on the DD Form 

1348-1A or DD Form 1348-2, Disposal Turn-in Document (DTID) for reimbursable costs applicable to 

the turn-in of hazardous materiel/waste to DLA Disposition Services.

(4) In conjunction with the updated guidance for population of a mark-for party, an 

enhancement is identified to include the mark-for party in the two-dimensional (2D) bar code on the 

DD Form 1348-1A or DD Form 1348-2, Issue Release/Receipt Document (IRRD).

(5) An administrative update is included to remove specific reference to MIL-STD-129

Revision P subsequent to publication of Revision R (Reference 3.n.).

b. Background:

(1) DOD EMALL. DOD EMALL supports payment under MILSBILLS procedures 

or via Government purchase card or corporate credit card. At the time the procedures were established 

for purchase card/credit card payment, a mechanism was needed to recognize the payment method with 

minimal impact to DLA and Component systems. Because legacy systems were involved for 

processing of the associated supply status, and because DOD EMALL had not adopted full DLMS 

transaction capability, the transaction format was constrained to the MILSTRIP legacy 80-record 

position format. As a result, a decision was made to use the standard MILSBILLS Fund Code XP 

indicating non-interfund billing and the EMALL DoDAAC SP5200 (transitioned to SC4210 in June 

2013; refer to Reference 3.k.) to populate the bill-to activity in the requisition supplementary address 

field. These transactions cite Signal Code B, indicating shipping to the requisitioner (DoDAAC 

identified in the document number) and billing to the supplementary address field, but instead provide 

a clear-text address for shipment. DLA continues to recognize this construct for EMALL purchase 

card/credit card payment. 

(2) DOD EMALL MILSTRIP Compliance Issues. MILSTRIP procedures (see 

paragraph C2.2.1. of Reference 3.e.) state: “To enable sources of supply to process requisitions in a 

timely manner to meet issue priority group, standard delivery dates, or required delivery dates, 

requisitioners should attempt to limit repetitive submission of requisitions containing exception data, 

particularly those that are to satisfy high priority requirements. Requisitioners should use available 

MILSTRIP capabilities to ensure that automated processes are used to the maximum possible extent. 

The processing of exception data requisitions is a resource-intensive process that is prone to errors and 

generally delays required support.” The problem with the EMALL transaction formatting is that it 

precludes simultaneous use of the supplementary address field for identification of the ship-to 

DoDAAC. Under MILSTRIP, the supplementary address is commonly used for this purpose when a 

shipment must be delivered to an activity other than the requisitioner’s DoDAAC. Because the 

SUPADD field must contain the EMALL DoDAAC SC4210, the customer is forced to use a clear-text 

address to identify the ship-to, when other than the requisitioner DoDAAC. MILSTRIP restricts the 

use of clear-text ship-to addresses (referred to as exception ship-to addresses) to limited scenarios 

(refer to Enclosure 2). However, an authorized exception was made for DOD EMALL purchase/credit

cards to preclude rejection of these requisitions and document the process (subsequent to 

implementation). Additionally, even when the requisitioner and ship-to are the same organization, 

DOD EMALL users routinely employ clear-text addressing, since there is no standard MILSTRIP 

option for supplementing the ship-to DoDAAC (and address derived from the DoDAAC Table) with 

specific delivery information such as the requisitioner name or office location. Continued use of these

procedures is problematic for the following reasons:

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 3
(a) The use of exception ship-to addressing bypasses the routine systemic 

controls that validate ship-to locations based upon the associated DoDAAC (Reference 3.c. and 3.e.). 

(b) When shipped via the Defense Transportation System (DTS), the use of 

clear text addressing requires manual processing and has been associated with a higher rate of 

frustrated freight shipments. Refer to discussion of this topic at Reference 3.g.

(c) Prior to procurement action and/or shipment, the Government Source of 

Supply (SoS) is required to validate the ship-to DoDAAC against the DOD Activity Address Directory 

(DoDAAD) Table under Reference 3.c., as required by ADC 262 (Reference 3.h.). The DoDAAD

Table is used to ensure that shippers do not ship items to activities/locations that are not active or to 

outdated locations for mobile units. It ensures that shippers have the most current address information,

which becomes critical during deployment. Use of clear-text addressing precludes systemic capability 

to validate that the address is still valid and current. Updated address detail cannot be obtained prior to

the physical shipment. 

(d) Lack of the ship-to DoDAAC prevents or impairs systemic capture of 

logistics metrics. Logistics Metrics Analysis Reporting System (LMARS) (Reference 3.d) and

Materiel Receipt Acknowledgment (MRA) Reports (Reference 3.a.) rely on the presence of the ship-to 

DoDAAC to properly categorize the shipment to an overseas destination or the Combatant Command.

(e) Lack of the ship-to DoDAAC prevents distribution of supply and shipment 

status directly to the Component supply system supporting the ship-to location.

1. Lack of supply and shipment status impedes automatic establishment 

of the due-in record.

2. Lack of shipment status prevents receipt processing facilitated by 

passive Radio Frequency Identification (pRFID).

3. Lack of shipment status will impede automated capture of item 

unique information (IUID) as DOD moves forward with the integrated application of IUID in logistics 

business processes.

(f) Lack of the ship-to DoDAAC impedes systemic processing supporting 

materiel receipt acknowledgment.

(g) Requisitions for Government-furnished materiel (GFM) or contractorfurnished materiel (CFM) require identification of the contractor ship-to DoDAAC in order to 

systemically recognize and properly validate the shipment. 

(h) DAAS Block on Transmission of Supply and Shipment Status for DOD 

EMALL Purchase/Credit Card Purchases. Although there was no formal coordination or 

documentation of the underlying requirement, DAAS suppresses transmission of supply and shipment 

status transactions to the applicable MILSTRIP status recipients when the transaction contains the 

DOD EMALL DoDAAC (originally SP5200, and currently SC4210) as the supplementary address. 

The suppression rule was established long ago by the DOD EMALL Program Manager and came to 

the attention of the MILSTRIP Administrator during staffing of PDC 1050A (Reference 3.l.). Even 

though this edit has been in place for many years, it is not considered appropriate. The payment 

method should not be used as a factor in determining whether supply and shipment status is provided

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 4
to status recipients. The block circumvents DOD-level requirements for provision of such status. 

Although the establishment of an interface for funds validation (Reference 3.m.) diminishes some of 

the negative aspects of blocking status transmission, the potential impacts associated with terminating 

status at DAAS include inability to automate establishment of a due-in based on supply/shipment 

status and lack of pRFID and IUID shipment status content to facilitate receipt processing. Standard 

information content such as price increases or delays in shipment may only be known if the 

requisitioner checks for status updates manually within DOD EMALL, rather than in their own Service 

supply system. 

(3) Mark-for Party. Lack of a fully integrated approach for identifying and 

perpetuating the mark-for party inhibits delivery of materiel to the requiring customer.

(a) Navy Ship Support. Navy ship-board requisitioning requires identification 

of the mark-for location to enable the DLA Distribution's Material Processing Centers (MPC) 

receiving materiel for the Navy to properly sort the materiel by the customer requirements, and then 

deliver the materiel so that it can be more easily placed into its location once onboard the ship. Recent 

changes to the requisition edit process have reduced the Navy’s flexibility to identify the mark-for 

location when high volume ordering exceeds the allowable orders within the date-serial number range 

authorized by ship. 

(b) Navy Detailed Procedures. Navy ships use R-Supply to requisition 

materiel from the DOD supply system. The first six characters of the requisition document number 

contain the DoDAAC of the customer at the ship level. The requisition is routed to the appropriate 

SoS; that SoS determines the supply support shipping location and directs that location to pick, pack, 

and ship. The shipper then ships the materiel to the destination location identified in the Navy Cargo 

Routing Information File (CRIF) and prepares the shipping documentation including the IRRD 1348-

1A. The Military Shipping Label (MSL) and the IRRDs identify the ship-to location as that provided 

by the CRIF. Upon arrival at the ship-to location, the Navy moves the incoming materiel to its transit 

shed operations and the incoming materiel is sorted and staged for efficient loading of the ship. The 

transit shed personnel staging is by ship and by the ultimate shipboard customer location, such as 

engineering. The data allowing sorting by onboard ship customer is keyed to the serial number in the 

document number (in which the Navy encodes identification of the customer location). Because the 

serial numbers are issued by block to correspond to the location, the Navy has a limited number of 

requisitions available per day. Until recently the Navy circumvented this problem by advancing the 

ordinal date in the requisition document number. Implementation of ADC 427A (Reference 3.i.) 

prevents the Navy from using the technique. Therefore, the Navy needs a new method to identity the 

mark-for party/onboard customer using DLMS without the use of the serial number as the key. 

(4) Materiel Processing Center (MPC). DLA has a similar process for the physical 

sorting of materiel arriving at a DLA depot destined for a ship. Materiel passing through DLA MPCs

is also partially dependent upon the serial number in the document number to accomplish the sorting in 

support of efficient delivery of materiel to onboard customers. Because the document number is one 

of the bar-coded elements on the IRRD, the MPC process is highly automated, allowing personnel to 

scan documentation for computer-assisted selection of the appropriate staging location within the 

MPC. The changes identified in this document will allow for identification of the mark-for party and 

support Automated Information Technology (AIT). 

(5) Force or Activity Designator (F/AD) Abuse. Lack of a mark-for party DoDAAC 

prevents proper functioning of OSD-directed edits of MILSTRIP requisitions to prevent F/AD I abuse. 

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 5
An interim approach has been implemented to manage use of the corresponding Priority Designator 

(PD) 01, 04, and 11. Current procedures validate the DoDAAC identified within the Document 

Number (the requisitioner) and the legacy supplementary address (ship-to or bill-to DoDAAC, as 

applicable) against a DLA Transaction Services-maintained table (Reference 3.e., MILSTRIP, 

Appendix 2.14). This permits automatic downgrading of unauthorized usage. However, due to the 

potential for a third party being involved, the edit cannot be enforced for DOD use of PD 01. 

Including a mark-for party DoDAAC will allow the requisitioner to identify the authorized DoDAAC 

when different from the requisitioner/ship-to/bill-to when this occurs due to off-site support or Servicemandated rules for DoDAAC assignment/requisition content.

(6) Signal Code Functionality. There is no formally documented transition plan for 

obtaining full functionality of the DLMS address segment identifying the ship-to and bill-to DoDAAC 

independent from the signal code. Inclusion of the bill-to DoDAAC by the initiating system when 

different from the requisitioner and ship-to DoDAAC will allow for eventual elimination of the Fund 

Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table (also known as the Third Party Billing Table) currently 

associated with use of Signal Code C or L. 

c. Approved Change in Detail:

(1) Revise business rules for the DLMS 511R Requisition, DLMS 511M Requisition 

Modification, DLMS 869F Requisition Follow-up, and DLMS 869A Requisition Inquiry transactions 

to allow simultaneous identification of the ship-to DoDAAC (when a different DoDAAC from that of 

the requisitioner is applicable) and the EMALL DoDAAC. To accomplish this, DOD EMALL will 

map the requisition data as follows:

(a) The actual ship-to DoDAAC will be mapped to the address information

using the qualifier associated with the ship-to location (N101/Qualifier ST). 

(b) The bill-to DoDAAC representing DOD EMALL (SC4210) will be 

mapped to the address information using the qualifier associated with the bill-to location 

(N101/Qualifier BT).

(c) The ship-to DoDAAC will also be mapped using the qualifier associated 

with supplemental data (LQ01/Qualifier A9). This field represents the value carried in the legacy 

supplementary address in a mixed DLMS/legacy environment.

(d) Requisitions structured as above will cite Signal Code L.

(2) DOD EMALL customers also use clear text addressing for the ship-to in order to 

identify applicable mark-for information even though the requisitioner is also the ship-to. This 

practice will be discontinued in favor of using the mark-for party as described in 4.c.(4). Signal Code 

B will be retained for these requisitions, the ship-to will be the requisitioner DoDAAC, the bill-to will 

be the EMALL DoDAAC, and the mark-for party will be included to provide any additional 

information needed for delivery of the materiel to the customer.

(3) Rules for Signal Code C and L Functionality. Establish new rules for Signal 

Codes C and L for DLMS compliant systems to provide/recognize the inclusion of different 

DoDAACs for the requisitioner, ship-to, and bill-to addresses within the DLMS transaction. 

Additionally, DLMS compliant systems must recognize that purchase/credit card billing is identified 

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 6
by inclusion of the EMALL DoDAAC SC4210 as the bill-to activity. Signal code guidance is updated 

for DLMS documentation as shown at Enclosure 5.

(a) The Finance Process Review Committee (PRC) Chair will coordinate with 

designated Service/Agency representatives to update the Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion 

Table to associate Fund Code XP by Service/Agency Service Code to SC4210. This will allow for 

standardization of procedures and provide consistency for legacy systems and users (by allowing the 

converted legacy transaction to properly identify the bill-to DoDAAC using third-party billing 

procedures). 

(b) DLA Transaction Services will use the initiating system Communications 

Routing Identifier (COMMRI) to ensure that requisitions identifying Signal Code L and Fund Code XP

with Bill-To DoDAAC SC4210 are permitted only from DOD EMALL. Inappropriate use will trigger 

rejection using Status Code CX. 

(c) Guidance for use of Signal Code C and L is clarified for transition to full 

DLMS transaction functionality allowing for discrete identification using different DoDAAC values 

for the requisitioner, ship-to, and bill-to activity. Requisitioning systems are directed to populate the 

bill-to/credit-to DoDAAC when using Signal Code C or L and this value will be perpetuated through 

the life cycle of the requisition. If populated, DLA Transaction Services will validate that the value in 

the transaction is the same as the value in the Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table to 

ensure no errors are introduced by the transition to initiating system population of this value. 

Inconsistent use will trigger rejection using Status Code CX. The intent is to eliminate the need for the 

Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table upon full transition to DLMS. 

(d) Business rules comparable to those for requisitioning that require discrete 

inclusion of the credit-to/bill-to activity are applied to materiel returns program (MRP) transactions 

and reimbursable turn-in of hazardous materiel/waste to DLA Disposition Services. 

(4) Mark-for Party. The following procedures are independent from the above DOD 

EMALL requirements, meaning the mark-for party will be available for DOD EMALL and all other 

DLMS compliant requisitioning systems. The mark-for party will be mapped to the address 

information using the qualifier associated with the mark-for party (N101/Qualifier Z7). The 

expectation is that the most common use of the mark-for party will be for clear text information, 

however, for greater flexibility, the mark-for party may be populated by a DoDAAC, RIC, or clear text 

information, such as the requiring individual’s name or office, or a combination of DoDAAC or RIC

with clear text. The mark-for text information will be mapped to the address information free-form 

text field (N102), with field length limits as indicated below; these limits are to accommodate the 

mapping of this data to the DD 1348-1A or DD 1348-2. DoDAAC and RICs will be mapped to the 

appropriate qualifier designating DoDAAC (N103/Qualifier 10) or RIC (N103/Qualifier M4) and will 

be validated during transaction processing.

(a) For a combination of DoDAAC and clear text, up to 17 positions of text 

may be provided. 

(b) For a combination of RIC and clear text, up to 20 positions of text may be 

provided.

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 7
(c) For mark-for text with no associated DoDAAC or RIC, up to 24 positions of 

clear text may be provided. 

(d) Use of the mark-for party will be recognized as an authorized DLMS 

enhancement and will not employ or be associated with the DLA unique Document Identifier Codes 

(DICs) YRZ DLA Requisition Exception Data or CGU Materiel Release Order (MRO) Exception 

Data.

(e) All SoS (item manager) and shipping activity systems will be required to 

support use of the mark-for party for DLMS compliance.

(5) Revise DLA SoS requisition processing to use the enhanced DLMS capability to 

discretely recognize the requisitioner, ship-to, and bill-to DoDAACs (including the specific EMALL 

DoDAAC) and the mark-for information as mapped to the DLMS requisitioning formats. Other SoS 

systems must also be enhanced to use DLMS capability to discretely recognize the requisitioner, shipto, bill-to, and mark-for information as mapped to the DLMS requisitioning formats. The

configuration identified in the requisition will be perpetuated to the supply and shipment status (DLMS 

870S and 856S). It will be used for the release order (DLMS 940R) when materiel is shipped from 

DOD stock and to procurement actions when required.

(6) Revise issuing systems (e.g. the DLA Distribution Standard System) that process 

materiel release orders to use the enhanced DLMS capability to discretely identify the requisitioner, 

ship-to, and bill-to DoDAACs and the mark-for information as mapped above.

(7) Revise printing of the DD 1348-1A, Issue Release/Receipt Document (IRRD), or 

DD Form 1348-2, IRRD with Address Label, to separately display ship-to and mark-for information. 

(a) When mark-for information is provided in the release order, the IRRD 

Block 4 will perpetuate this information. This replaces current redundant mapping of the ship-to 

DoDAAC as both the ship-to and mark for.

(b) A mark-for DoDAAC/RIC and text combinations will appear as two lines 

(12 characters each) with the DoDAAC or RIC appearing on the first line, followed by a slash (/) and 

then any associated text. When text is combined with a DoDAAC, up to 17 characters of text will be 

allowed. When text is combined with a RIC, up to 20 characters of text will be allowed.

(c) Mark-for clear text (with no DoDAAC or RIC) will appear as two lines of 

12 characters each. 

(d) The mark-for party will be perpetuated to PDF417 two-dimensional (2D) 

bar code using the appropriate identifiers for DoDAAC, RIC, and text. The EMALL DoDAAC 

appearing in the supplementary data field will also be perpetuated to the 2D bar code.

(8) Revise DLA Transaction Services DAAS to use the enhanced DLMS capability to 

discretely identify different DoDAACs as the requisitioner, ship-to, and bill-to activity when Signal 

Code is C or L. This includes capturing the ship-to DoDAAC for all applicable edits, providing 

visibility within Web tools, and converting to MILSTRIP legacy formats as described above. Supply 

and shipment status will be provided to the ship-to DoDAAC under MILSTRIP distribution rules.

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 8
(9) DAAS Block on Transmission of Supply and Shipment Status for DOD 

EMALL Purchase/Credit Card Purchases. Revise DAAS logic to remove the block on 

transmission of status where transactions identify the DOD EMALL Supplementary DoDAAC 

SC4210.

Staffing Note: DOD Components must plan for this change to ensure that the EMALL DoDAAC is 

recognized as a purchase/credit card order and a new obligation is not established based upon the status 

transaction.

(10) Validation of F/AD I Activities: 

(a) Requisitioning systems must support use of the mark-for party DoDAAC to 

identify the authorized DoDAAC when this DoDAAC is different from the requisitioner, ship-to, or 

bill-to DoDAAC. 

(b) Revise the DAAS logic for validation of requisitions for suspected F/AD I 

abuse to include use of the mark-for party DoDAAC (when available). 

(c) Automatic downgrade for PD 01 requisitions will not be authorized pending 

implementation of the mark-for party as an alternate location for the authorized activity DoDAAC. 

d. Revisions to DOD 4000.25 Manuals:

(1) Revise DLMS ICs as shown in Enclosure 1.

(2) Revise DLMS Volume 2, Supply, as shown in Enclosure 2.

(3) Revise DLMS Volume 4, Finance, as shown in Enclosure 3.

for use in DoD requisitions/orders.

(4) Activity identified in the requisition is not authorized as a requisitioning or billto activity. 

(5) A discretely identified DLMS bill-to activity used with Signal Code C or L does 

not correspond to the Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table. 

(6) Financial events associated with bill-to DoDAAC SC2410 must be initiated via

DoDAAC or RIC (when provided) will appear in the first line and must be 

separated from clear text with a slash (/). If Reduced print is may be used, inthe-clear address may be entered in addition to the DoDAAC.

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 11
e. Transaction Flow:

(1) DOD EMALL passes the requisition to DLA Transaction Services. DLA 

Transaction Services performs applicable edits, records the requisition in logistics databases, and 

routes the requisition to the SoS. When applicable, DLA processes the requisition and makes 

applicable sourcing decision. DLA provides status to DLA Transaction Services for processing under 

standard MILSTRIP distribution rules.

(2) Requisitioning systems (other than DOD EMALL) are authorized to adopt use of 

the mark-for party with no change to existing transaction flow.

f. Alternatives: None identified. 

g. Proposed DLMS Change (PDC) 1009A Staffing Response/Comment Resolution: See 

Enclosure 8.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE:

a. This change is required to correct numerous compliance issues (see background details) and 

support audit readiness.

b. The above ordering procedures are needed to provide greater flexibility for DOD EMALL 

customers.

c. A standard logistics transaction methodology is needed to support requisitioning 

requirements for identification of the mark-for party and ensure proper delivery of materiel.

d. There is a continuing need for MILSTRIP appendices to provide clear guidance on 

MILSTRIP data and business rules as applicable within both legacy and modernization systems. This 

change provides expanded guidance for use of the signal code under DLMS while maintaining 

capability to support legacy usage.

e. This change is needed to ensure that supply and shipment status are distributed under 

standard MILSTRIP business rules. Blocking such distribution due to method of payment is not 

authorized.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: 

(1) Uses DLMS enhancement capability to overcome shortcomings inherent in the 

legacy MILSTRIP format. 

(2) Corrects compliance issues identified under background information. 

(3) The simplified procedures documented in the ADC 1009A (requiring the Fund 

Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table to carry the EMALL DoDAAC in association with Fund 

Code XP) will simplify implementation for DLA Transaction Services by eliminating the need for 

some unique DLMS business rules for identification of the EMALL DoDAAC bill-to and will support

appropriate conversion to the legacy format when required.

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 12
(4) DOD Components will be able to receive supply and shipment status, with all the 

inherent information these provide, regardless of the method of payment.

(5) Supports achieving a clean financial audit.

b. Disadvantages:

(1) Limited print space available within the IRRD mark-for block necessitates a 

restriction of the field length for the DLMS mark-for party. 

(2) AIT using 2D bar codes may not be available at all locations.

(3) This change does not address specifically GSA internet ordering procedures for 

Government purchase/credit card payment. GSA procedures will be addressed separately by DLMS 

change addendum. The goal is to apply all of the above functionality to orders processed via GSA 

systems. ADC 1009A changes that are not associated with the payment method are applicable to GSA 

under this document.

7. ASSUMPTIONS USED OR WILL BE USED IN THE CHANGE OR NEW 

DEVELOPMENT:

a. DLA Transaction Service’s DAAS conversion capability will ensure no impact to legacy 

systems. However, this requires the Services/Agencies to update the Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC 

Conversion Table for legacy conversion when Fund Code XP and Signal Code L apply. 

b. Including the mark-for party in shipping documentation will allow for proper delivery of 

shipments pending receiving activity DLMS implementation (since this DLMS transaction content will 

be continue to be dropped during conversion to the legacy format).

c. This change will be pursued independent of DLMS changes to accommodate Standard Line 

of Accounting (SLOA) data in the requisitioning cycle.

8. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO CONSIDER:

a. The Services/Agencies may need to establish additional business rules for retail/tactical 

receiving activities to ensure materiel intended for direct turn-over to the customer based upon markfor party information is accomplished (rather than receipting the shipment into stock). 

b. The deficiencies identified in this change must be corrected in support of audit readiness.

9. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

a. GSA currently does not have a mechanism (such as the EMALL-specific DoDAAC) to 

identify when payment is accomplished by purchase/credit card. Additionally, GSA currently does not 

provide status for purchase/credit card orders. GSA procedures will need to be upgraded to 

accommodate the changes identified in this document using a GSA-specific DoDAAC for designation 

of purchase/credit card payment (or an alternate method may be proposed).

b. Additional restrictions on the use of clear text addressing may be appropriate and will be 

addressed separately as DOD Supply Policy evolves.

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 13
c. This change does not perpetuate the use of the mark-for party to the materiel returns supply 

and shipment status. If required, Components will need to identify the requirement via separate DLMS 

change. 

10. TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET DATE:

a. Mark-for Party: April 2015. This change requires joint implementation among DOD 

EMALL, DLA Transaction Services, DLA Enterprise Business System, and DLA Distribution 

Standard System. Joint implementation by these parties is timed to coincide with EMALL Release 2.0. 

Phased and staggered implementation, supported by DLA Transaction Services, is authorized for 

others. Staggered/delayed implementation authorized for 2D bar code implementation.

b. Validation of F/AD I Activities: December 2015. DLA Transaction Service 

implementation will be deferred pending Service implementation of the mark-for party DoDAAC 

functionality. Staggered implementation authorized by Service. Automatic downgrade for PD 01 

requisitions will not be authorized pending full implementation of the mark-for party as an alternate 

location for the authorized activity DoDAAC. 

c. Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table Update to associate Fund Code XP by 

Service/Agency Service Code to SC4210. October 2014 for each Service/Agency (to ensure Fund 

Code XP will be available for this process when fully implemented.) 

d. EMALL Transaction Formatting for Purchase/Credit Card Orders: April 2015 (to 

coincide with release of EMALL 2.0).

e. Termination of DAAS Block on Status Dissemination for EMALL Purchase/Credit 

Card Orders 

(1) The intent is to provide time for Service supply systems to be upgraded to 

recognize the method of payment for credit card orders, so the Service will not over obligate based 

upon receipt of status. This change may be implemented by Service, if requested. Target date: April 

2015. 

(2) For Federal/Civil agency requisitioners, the block may be lifted within 30 days of 

the ADC. Status will be directed by DAAS to the GSA portal under existing rules.

f. MPC Process: December 2015. DLA DSS implementation may be deferred pending Navy 

implementation of the mark-for party functionality.

11. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: Not available. Savings for more efficient processing of 

shipments and cost avoidance for frustrated shipments are applicable.

12. IMPACT:

a. DLMS Data Elements: There are no new data elements associated with this change.

b. Revised Data Elements: This change updates the DLMS Dictionary and MILSTRIP 

Appendix 2.10 definitions for signal code values as shown in Enclosure 5.

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 14
c. Automated Information Systems (AIS):

(1) DOD EMALL as described above. Implementing this change will require training 

for users to terminate use of clear-text addressing where the ship-to has an assigned DoDAAC. Use of 

the mark-for party is encouraged to ensure delivery to the intended recipient. This change does not 

impact DOD EMALL requisition formatting for exception situations requiring clear-text addressing 

where no DoDAAC is assigned for the ship-to location.

(2) DLA Enterprise Business System (EBS) as described above. 

Staffing Note: Capability to accept the requisition mark-for party identification as modified by this 

change is essential for processing EMALL orders upon transition to the use of a ship-to DoDAAC for 

GPC since the customer must have a way to further identify the intended recipient. This information 

must be perpetuated to the shipper (for both DVD and stock shipments).

(3) DLA Distribution Standard System (DSS) as described above. Impact includes:

(a) processing of materiel release,

(b) perpetuation of new data content to the shipment status and materiel release 

confirmation,

(c) printing of the IRRD with mark-for party identification in the applicable 

blocks,

Staffing Note: Capability to accept the materiel release order mark-for party identification as 

modified by this change is essential for processing EMALL orders upon transition to the use of a shipto DoDAAC for GPC orders since the customer must have a way to further identify the intended 

recipient and this information must be visible by the receiver. 

(d) printing of the IRRD with mark-for party identification within the 2D bar 

code, 

(e) MPC processing to recognize the mark-for party for segregation and 

delivery, 

(f) applicability of the mark-for party to DLA Distribution Services, and

(g) use of the mark-for DoDAAC when provided for validation of FA/D 1 

priorities.

(4) Service/Agency DLMS compliant applications must be modified to adopt mark-for 

party identification.

Staffing Note: The mark-for party is currently identified for applicably to the disposal release order 

(DRO) (DLMS 940R). However, it is not known if this requirement is valid under the modernization 

of DLA Distribution Services business processes. This change provides additional business rules for 

the use of the mark-for party that should be reviewed for use by DLA Disposition Services. 

(5) Sources of supply must ensure no financial event involving SC4210 is permitted for 

purposes other than authorized in this document.

ADC 1009A, Attachment, Page 15
(6) Integrated Data Environment (IDE)/Global Transportation Network (GTN) 

Convergence (IGC) to use the enhanced DLMS capability to discretely identify the requisitioner, shipto, and bill-to DoDAACs and the mark-for party as mapped above. 

(7) Impact to GSA and other web-based ordering source systems/processes must be 

evaluated for the requirement to provide supply and shipment status for all requisitions regardless of 

the payment method. Procedures must be established for identifying purchase/credit card payment 

outside DOD EMALL.

d. DLA Transaction Services:

(1) This change impacts DAAS mapping. Review for impact on conversion between 

DLMS and legacy MILSTRIP (e.g., for transaction exchange with Components subsequent to 

requisition processing by DLA).

(2) This change requires capability to discretely identify the requisitioner, ship-to, and 

bill-to DoDAACs and perpetuate this information to applicable DAAS edits, data bases, and web tools, 

including DOD Web Visual Logistics Information Processing System (WebVLIPS), LMARS, and 

MRA Reporting.

(3) DAAS authorized priority designator validation (PD 01, 04, and 11) must be 

expanded to include the mark-for party DoDAAC when one is provided.

(4) DAAS edits must confirm initiating system population of the bill-to DoDAAC in 

conjunction with Signal Code C or L in the DLMS transaction is consistent with the Fund Code to 

Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table.

(5) DAAS edits must ensure requisitions identifying a bill-to DoDAAC SC4210 is only 

originated by DOD EMALL.

(6) The DAAS restriction on dissemination of supply and shipment status based upon 

the presence of the EMALL DoDAAC must be removed (capability to remove by Service may be 

required).

(7) The DAAS edit for CFM based upon the DOD EMALL DoDAAC as the 

supplementary address must be revised to accommodate the DOD EMALL DoDAAC as the bill-to (in 

conjunction with the contractor DoDAAC as requisitioner and ship-to). 

Staffing Note: It is anticipated that this requirement will be superseded by a separate DLMS change 

impacting DAAS CFM edits.

e. Non-DLM 4000.25 Manual Publications: Requires update to internal Service/Agency 

guidance. This includes policy statements employed by DOD EMALL. Services are required to issue 

appropriate guidance to terminate extensive use of clear text addressing associated with DOD EMALL 

purchase card orders.

Enclosure 2, DLMS Manual Revisions

A. Revise the DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 4 as shown below. No change to MILSTRIP 

manual. Revisions are shown in bold red italics.

C4.2.2. Priority Designators and Required Delivery Dates

C4.2.2.1. Assignment of PD. The priority designator (PD) is based upon a combination of 

factors that relate the relative importance of the requisitioner's mission, expressed by its Force or 

Activity Designator (F/AD) (a Roman numeral) and the urgency of need of the end use expressed by 

the Urgency of Need Designator (UND). The F/AD is assigned by the Secretary of Defense, the 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or a DoD Component authorized by the Chairman of the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff, to assign F/ADs for their respective forces, activities, programs, or projects. The 

criteria for assignment of an appropriate F/AD is in DoD 4140.1-R. The requisitioning activity 

determines the UND (an alphabetic character).

C4.2.2.2. Commanding Officer Responsibilities. Commanding officers of requisitioning 

installations are responsible for the accurate assignment of PDs consistent with the F/AD and UND, 

and the validity of required delivery dates (RDDs) when assigned to requisitions. Commanding 

officers of ILCOs, receiving requisitions from SA requisitioners, are responsible for review of assigned 

PDs and delivery dates. Commanding officers must accomplish the following reviews prior to sending 

requisitions to the source of supply:

C4.2.2.2.1. Commander Requirements Review. Commanders (or acting commanders 

during absences) must personally review all requirements based on UND A to certify an inability to 

perform the mission.

C4.2.2.2.2. Designation of Reviewers. Commanders must designate, in writing, 

specific personnel who will personally review all requirements based on UND B to certify that the 

urgency has been accurately determined.

 C4.2.2.3. Accurate assignment of the PD is a key element in ensuring that potentially 

scarce resources are appropriately allocated. To preclude abuse or misuse of the PD, the Office of 

the Secretary of Defense has directed the DLA Transaction Services to validate use of the PDs 01, 

04, and 11, which are associated with special programs and top national priorities. Inappropriate 

assignments are identified for management review or automatic downgrading based upon 

Service/Agency guidance. To pass validation, requisitions reflecting PD 01, 04, or 11 must identify 

the DoDAAC of the activity authorized use of F/AD I in the document number, ship-to, bill-to, or 

mark for party.

B. Revise the DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 4 as shown below to limit the applicability of 

EMALL exception ship-to addresses. A comparable change to the MILSTRIP is shown separately 

below. Revisions are shown in bold red italics.

C4.2.4. Exception Data. Requisitioners must limit repetitive exception data to aid timely source 

of supply processing of requisitions to meet IPG processing times, standard delivery dates (SDDs), or 

1

 Refer to ADC 1009A. Automatic downgrade for PD 01 requisitions will not be authorized pending implementation of 

the mark-for party as an alternate location for the authorized activity DoDAAC.

ADC 1009A, Enclosure 2, Page 1

 
RDDs, particularly those that satisfy high priority requirements. Use available requisitioning 

capabilities to ensure maximum utilization of automated processes. Processing exception data 

requisitions is resource intensive, prone to errors, and generally delays required support. The sources 

of supply will disregard all unnecessary exception data (such as ship by commercial air, do not use 

postal system, ship by fastest traceable means, or ship overnight delivery) and continue processing. 

Sources of supply will process all requisitions under UMMIPS (see DoD 4140.1-R). Within the 

UMMIPS time segment for transporting the materiel, it is the shipper's prerogative to select the mode 

of shipment based on time, distance, item characteristics, and economic factors. The repetitive use of 

the same exception ship-to address is an uneconomical way of doing business for all concerned. A 

separate DoDAAC assignment for this type of ship-to address should be made or the Transportation 

Account Code (TAC) 2 address of the involved activity should be changed and the resulting 

DoDAAC(s) used on applicable requisitions. Activities having multiple locations should assign a 

separate DoDAAC to each receiving location. It is incumbent upon the requisitioner to work with the 

applicable DoD Component focal point to develop procedures to automatically process requisitions.

C4.2.5. Limitation on Use of Exception Data

C4.2.5.1. Applicability. Exception data will normally be limited to the conditions 

listed below. Commanders must approve, or delegate in writing to specific personnel to approve, the 

submission of exception-data requisitions.

C4.2.5.2. Authorized Conditions. Authorized conditions for use of exception ship-to 

addresses are listed below. Requisitions containing exception ship-to addresses other than those listed 

will be rejected with Status Code D6.

C4.2.5.2.1. Sales/donations/issues of materiel to qualifying Federal, state, or 

civil organizations or individuals approved by the Service Secretaries.

C4.2.5.2.2. Issues of nuclear assets as directed by Defense Threat Reduction 

Agency to Department of Energy contractors.

C4.2.5.2.3. Materiel in SCC L to contractors.

C4.2.5.2.4. Issues required by national emergency or natural disasters.

C4.2.5.2.5. Shipments to contractors for special testing.

C4.2.5.2.6. Requisitions from deployed naval units with an R or V in the first 

position of the transaction reference number; Utilization Code E, G, or W; PD 01, 02, or 03; and 

Special Requirements Code 999.

C4.2.5.2.7 DoD EMALL-generated requisitions using a Government 

purchase card as the method of payment and the non-contractor ship-to location is not identified by 

a DoDAAC. Requisitioners must use the DoDAAC applicable to the ship-to locations when 

assigned. See paragraph C4.2.4. for additional guidance.

C4.2.5.3. Limitations. Exception data will normally be limited to the following:

C4.2.5.3.1. Non-NSN lumber products identified and ordered by description 

only or other commodities that require additional descriptive information.

ADC 1009A, Enclosure 2, Page 2
C4.2.5.3.2. Authorization/identification for items when such requirement is 

imposed by the Inventory Control Point (ICP), or by the parent Component, or the requisitioning 

activity.

C4.2.5.3.3. NSN requirements needing additional identifying information; for 

example, requisitions initially rejected with Status Code CG or CJ.

C4.2.5.3.4. Requisitions for LEVEL 1/SUBSAFE and nuclear reactor plant 

materiel.

C4.2.5.3.5. NSN items for chemicals for boiler water and feed water analysis.

C4.2.5.3.6. Requisitions used to establish a registered user with the ICP in a 

Primary Inventory Control Activity (PICA)/Secondary Inventory Control Activity (SICA) situation.

C4.2.5.3.7. Requisitions for Marine Corps Pre-Positioned War Reserve (PWR) 

or Pre-Positioning Ships Program.

C4.2.5.3.8. DoD EMALL-generated requisitions using IMPAC card as the method of 

payment.

C4.2.5.4. Automated submissions of requisitions containing exception ship-to 

addresses may be authorized by agreement with the source of supply. Exception ship-to addressing 

is only authorized where the ship-to location is not identified by a DoDAAC. This exception cannot 

be applied to requisitioning for shipment to a contractor. Automated submissions must include 

identification of the customer via a system-generated customer identification code that cannot be

overridden by the user as described under MILSTRIP Appendix AP1.35, Customer Identification. 

DAAS will generate the customer identification for automated submissions (e.g., via Defense 

Automatic Addressing System Automatic Message Exchange System (DAMES) of the DLAsupported DIC YRZ requisition trailer for ship-to exception data.

C. Revise the DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 4, as shown below to add a new subparagraph. No 

change to MILSTRIP required.

C4.10. DEFENSE AUTOMATIC ADDRESSING SYSTEM EDIT OF INCOMING 

REQUISITIONS 

(Intervening text not shown) 

C4.10.3. DAAS will reject all requisitions/EMALL orders containing GY/GZ series 

AACs. DAAS will send DLMS 870S transactions with Status Code CX to advise all concerned of 

rejection of the requisition.

C4.10.4 DAAS will recognize the enhanced DLMS capability to discretely identify 

different DoDAACs as the requisitioner, ship-to, and bill-to activities as a DLMS enhancement.2

C4.10.4.1 DAAS will perform validation to ensure that only DoD EMALLgenerated requisitions contain the EMALL DoDAAC SC2410 as the bill-to DoDAAC. When 

2

 Refer to ADC 1009A.

ADC 1009A, Enclosure 2, Page 3

 
shipment to an activity other than the requisitioner is required, the EMALL DoDAAC will be 

included as the bill-to activity in the DLMS transaction in association with Fund Code XP and 

Signal Code L. This construct is used to identify purchase/credit card as the method of payment. 

Requisitions using this construct outside DoD EMALL will be rejected. DAAS will send a DLMS

870S transaction with Status Code CX to advise all concerned of the rejection.

C4.10.4.2 While maintaining a mixed DLMS/MILSTRIP Legacy environment,

DAAS will perform validation to ensure DLMS requisitions discretely identifying the bill-to 

DoDAAC in conjunction with Signal Code C or L do not conflict with the bill-to activity identified in 

the Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table (refer to DLM 4000.25, Volume 4, Appendix 

1.2) . Inconsistent requisition content will be rejected. DAAS will send a DLMS 870S transaction 

with Status Code CX to advise all concerned of the rejection.

D. Revise the DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 5 as shown below to update guidance:

C5.1.6.5.1.1. Materiel Processing Center (MPC) Shipment Status. DAAS will also 

provide a copy of shipment status for materiel to be delivered to Navy ships to the applicable MPC 

operated by DLA Distribution at the co-located Distribution Depot (DD) receiving site. In order to 

accomplish this, DLA Transaction Services will maintain a table of DoDAACs associated with a 

particular copy of DSS as identified by DLA Distribution that the copy of DSS MPC supports. DLA 

Distribution, in coordination with the Service, will provide updates to DLA Transaction Services as 

needed. When DAAS processes the DLMS 856S/AS8 and the ship-to DoDAAC begins with N, R, V,

Z, M, or as otherwise identified, DAAS will match the ship-to DoDAAC to the MPC table. When an 

appropriate DSS DoDAAC for MPC support is identified, shipment status will be forwarded to the 

DSS for establishment of pre-positioned materiel receipt (due-in) record at the applicable MPC.

C5.1.6.5.1.2. MPCs receiving shipment status are located at the distribution depot

locations identified in Table C5.T2.

D. Revise the DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 16 as shown below to update guidance:

C16.4.2. Requirements for Shipments of Hazardous Materiel and Hazardous Waste. The following 

guidance outlines basic documentation requirements for turn-in of Hazardous Materiel (HM), Hazardous 

Waste (HW), and other types of wastes (e.g., Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCBs), Friable Asbestos, etc.). The 

turn-in activity will enter the bill-to fund code and bill-to DoDAAC (when other than the turn-in activity)

for reimbursable actions associated with the disposal, (e.g., HW contractor costs), in the DD Form 1348-1A 

or DD Form 1348-2), in order to provide reimbursement to DLA Disposition Services. To ensure 

compliance with federal, state, DoD and host nation regulations, turn-in activities will obtain and become 

familiar with applicable Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), state regulations, DoD regulations, and 

Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Documents (OEBGD), or the Final Governing Standards 

(FGS) for the host nation.

 C2.2.3. Method of Billing 

C2.2.3.1. Bills arising from transactions containing a National Stock Number (NSN) 

within the DoD will be collected through the Military Standard Billing System (MILBILLS) 

interfund billing procedures when supported by the supply and accounting systems. The 

provider will not accept a Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (MIPR) if interfund can 

be used. Manual billing (e.g., the XP fund code) will not be used unless approved by the Deputy 

Chief Financial Officer. For intragovernmental interfund disputes, follow the dispute process 

outlined in Chapter 4.

Billings to DoD offices must be under interfund procedures except as 

provided below. 

C2.2.3.2. Billing will be under noninterfund procedures when: 

 C2.2.3.2.1. The bill-to office is non-DoD (Bill-To Service Code is numeric, G, or Z).

 C2.2.3.2.2. The bill-to office is a DoD contractor (Bill-To Service Code is C, E, HG, L, 

Q, SD, or U). 

 C2.2.3.2.3. The bill-to office is DoD (Bill-To Service Code is alpha other than C, E, G, 

HG, L, Q, SD, U, or Z) and the fund code requires noninterfund billing (normally XP fund code). 

 C2.2.3.2.4. The bill-to office is another-DoD Component (Bill-To Service Code is H) 

and the fund code is not identified as a valid fund code. 

 C2.2.3.2.5. The bill-to office is Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) (BillTo Service Code is H followed by an X). 

 C2.2.3.2.6. The bill-to office is SC4210, representing DoD EMALL, and the fund 

code is XP. This combination indicates billing via customer-provided Government purchase 

card or corporate credit card. No other use is authorized.3

 C2.2.3.2.7. DLA Transaction Services will reject bills when they fail any of the edits. 

See Chapter 6.2 for information about the routing and editing of bills processed through DLA 

Transaction Services. Rejected bills will be returned to the originating communications center 

with a narrative description indicating the reason for rejection. Billing offices will correct the 

rejected bills and resubmit them to the DLA Transaction Services. Billing offices will ensure 

that all appropriate adjustments for rejected billings and interfund collections are made to seller 

accounting records.

exception ship-to addresses. Revisions are shown in bold red italics.

C2.2. LIMITATION ON SUBMISSION OF EXCEPTION DATA REQUISITIONS

C2.2.1. To enable sources of supply to process requisitions in a timely manner to meet 

issue priority group, standard delivery dates, or required delivery dates, requisitioners should 

attempt to limit repetitive submission of requisitions containing exception data, particularly those 

that are to satisfy high priority requirements. Requisitioners should use available MILSTRIP 

capabilities to ensure that automated processes are used to the maximum possible extent. The 

processing of exception data requisitions is a resource-intensive process that is prone to errors 

and generally delays required support. Sources of supply receiving requisitions with 

unnecessary exception data such as “ship by commercial air,” “do not use postal system,” “ship 

by fastest traceable means,” or “ship overnight delivery” are authorized to delete such 

information, change the exception DIC to a non-exception DIC, and continue processing. 

Sources of supply will process all requisitions under the standards of the Uniform Materiel 

Management and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS) (DoD 4140.1-R, “DoD Supply Chain 

Materiel Management Regulation,” May 23, 2003). Within the UMMIPS time segment for 

transporting the materiel, it is the shipper’s prerogative to select the mode of shipment based on 

time, distance, item characteristics, and economic factors. The repetitive use of the same 

exception ship-to address is an uneconomical way of doing business for all concerned. A 

separate DoDAAC assignment for this type of ship-to address should be made or the type of 

address code (TAC) 2 address of the involved activity should be changed and the resulting 

DoDAAC(s) used on applicable requisitions. Activities having multiple locations should assign 

a separate DoDAAC to each receiving location. It is incumbent upon the requisitioner to work 

with the applicable Service focal point to develop procedures to automatically process 

requisitions.

C2.2.1.1. Authorized conditions for use of exception ship-to addresses are listed

C2.2.1.1.8. DoD EMALL-generated requisitions using an International 

Merchant Purchase Authorization Card (IMPAC) Government purchase card as the method of 

payment and the non-contractor ship-to location is not identified by a DoDAAC. 

Requisitioners must use the DoDAAC applicable to the ship-to locations when assigned. See 

paragraph C2.2.1. for additional guidance.

The DD Form 1348-2 configuration is a DD Form 1348-1A with a perforated address label 

attached to the outer right edge. The length of the DD Form 1348-2 is 13 inches. The DD Form 

1348-2 may be configured for printing as continuous forms. For continuous forms configuration, 

pin-fed strips of one-half inch on each side may be added. The length of the DD Form 1348-2 

with pin-fed strip will not exceed 14 inches. The address label dimensions of the DD Form 

1348-2 are 4-1/4 inches long and 5-1/2 inches high. Use of the address label with preprinted 

postage data is only authorized for shipments by the U.S. Postal Service. The address label will

contain the following elements.

AP2.10. APPENDIX 2.10

SIGNAL CODES

AP2.10.1. General. This appendix provides guidance for legacy-formatted MILSTRIP 

requisitions and provides transition guidance for perpetuation of the signal code under 

DLMS. The long-term goal for DLMS procedures is to eventually terminate the use of the 

signal code, which is redundant to the use of discretely identified activities relevant to the 

transaction. 

AP2.10.2 Legacy MILSTRIP Business Rules. The signal code (record position 51) in A series 

documents has two purposes; it designates the fields containing the intended consignee (ship-to), 

and the activity to receive and effect payment of bills, when applicable. In the case of the 

Material Returns Program (MRP), Document Identifier Code (DIC) FT_ series, the signal code 

designates the fields containing the intended consignor (ship-from) and the activity to receive 

and process credits, when applicable. All requisitions/asset reports will contain the appropriate 

signal code.

AP2.10.2.1 The coding structure and its meaning for DIC A_ series documents are shown 

in Table AP2.10.T1.

DoD activities when submitting requisitions on Government Service Administration (GSA).)

AP2.10.2.1.5. Code W - (For intra-Service use only.)

AP2.10.2.1.2. When the materiel is to be shipped to the activity indicated in rp 45-

50, the signal code shall be as follows:

AP2.10.2.1.2.1. Code J - Bill to the activity in rp 30-35.

AP2.10.2.1.2.2. Code K - Bill to the activity in rp 45-50.

AP2.10.2.1.2.3. Code L7 - Bill to the activity in rp 52 and 53.

DoD activities when submitting requisitions on GSA.)

AP2.10.2.1.2.5. Code X - (For intra-Service use only.)

AP2.10.2.2. The coding structure and its meaning for applicable Materiel Returns 

Program (MRP) (DIC FT_ series documents) are shown in Table AP2.10.T2.

5 When used to identify ownership transfer of ammunition and ammunition-related materiel with no physical 

movement of materiel or billing, Signal Code M is used in conjunction with Project Code CYK and the 

supplementary address/supplemental data field beginning with Service/Agency Code Y and will not require 

inclusion of a valid ship-to DoDAAC. Refer to ADC 1020. 6 See AP2.10.2.3. AP2.11.2 for explanation. 7 Ibid.

AP2.10.2.3. When the Signal Code is C or L, an additional use for the fund code is to 

indicate the bill-to office. The fund code to bill-to office conversion under MILSBILLS 

procedures is prescribed in the fund code appendix of DLM 4000.25, Volume 4, Finance.

AP2.10.3 DLMS MILSTRIP Business Rules.10 Pending future termination of the signal code 

under DLMS, the signal code remains as a required data element. Redundant mapping of the 

discretely identified activities is required during an extended transition period to ensure 

interoperability in a mixed DLMS/legacy environment. 

AP2.10.3.1 Although identified in the transaction, the signal code in requisitions, 

including referral and passing orders, must also designate the role/placement of legacy fields 

containing the intended consignee (ship-to), and the activity to receive and effect payment of 

bills, when applicable. In the case of the MRP, the signal code designates the role/placement 

of fields containing the intended consignor (ship-from) and the activity to receive and process 

credits, when applicable. All requisitions/asset reports will contain the appropriate signal 

code.

A Turn-in activity identified in the document number (MILSTRIP legacy rp 30-35)

B

Bill to activity in block 27 of the DTID. If Signal Code B is present and no bill-to activity is 

provided in DTID block 27, the bill-to office will default to the turn-in activity identified in 

the document number (MILSTRIP legacy rp 30- 35).

C

Addressee designated by the fund code (MILSTRIP legacy rp 52-53). If Signal Code C is 

present and no bill-to activity is identified on the Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion 

Table, the bill-to office will default to the turn-in activity in the document number 

(MILSTRIP legacy rp 30-35).

For Signal Code C, bill to activity must also be identified in block 27 of the DTID. 

L

Addressee designated by the fund code (legacy rp 52-53). If Signal Code L is present and no 

bill-to activity is identified on the Fund Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table, the billto office will default to the turn-in activity in the document number (MILSTRIP legacy rp

For Signal Code L, bill to activity must also be identified in block 27 of the DTID. 

AP2.10.4.1.1 Code A - Bill to activity in rp 30-35.

AP2.10.4.1.2. Code B - Bill to activity in block 27 of the DTID. If Signal Code B is 

present and no bill-to activity is provided in block 27, the bill-to office shall default to the 

activity in rp 30- 35.

AP2.10.4.1.3. Code C - Bill to activity in rp 52 and 53. If Signal Code C is present 

and no bill-to activity is identified on the fund code table, the bill-to office shall default to the 

activity in rp 30-35.

AP2.10.4.1.4. Code L - Bill to activity in rp 52 and 53. lf Signal Code L is present 

and no bill-to activity is identified on the fund code table, the bill-to office shall default to the

AP2.14.5.2. Validation of F/AD I Activities. By direction of the OSD, the DLA 

Transaction Services will validate F/AD I usage through the requisitioning process. The DLA 

Transaction Services will maintain an edit table consisting of activities authorized to use F/AD I. 

To preserve accuracy and timely update, the JCS will forward to DLA Transaction Services and 

Government Services Administration (GSA) all OSD-approved assignments of F/AD I 

immediately upon approval. Telephonic or electronic communication, to include on-line update, 

with the DLA Transaction Services and GSA is authorized for time sensitive updates; however, 

formal documentation will be forwarded to DLA Transaction Services and GSA to support 

inclusion of all F/AD I authorized activities. In order to maintain unclassified communication, 

JCS contact points are advised to identify authorized activities by DoDAAC only (no clear-text 

activity names) and make no reference to the associated F/AD. DLA Transaction Services will

edit PD 01, 04, and 11 requisitions (DLMS 511R, 511M, 869F, and 517M or MILSTRIP legacy

DICs A0_, AM_, AT_, A3_, A4_, and APR) to ensure that F/AD I requisitions identify an 

authorized activity in the document number (MILSTRIP legacy rp 30-43), or supplementary

address field (MILSTRIP legacy rp 45-50), or DLMS ship-to, bill-to, or mark-for party17

DoDAAC. DLA Transaction Services will identify PD 01 requisitions failing this edit for 

suspected abuse and subsequent investigation without interruption of normal requisition 

processing. DLA Transaction Services will use Table AP2-14.T2, to downgrade PD 04 and 11 

requisitions failing this edit. DLA Transaction Services will report downgrading action back to 

the requisitioner in an DLMS 870S/DIC AE9 transaction with BK status and will forward the 

modified requisition for processing. By agreement, all suspected F/AD I abuses found in US 

Coast Guard requisitions (document number beginning with Service/Agency Code Z rp 30

equal to Z) identified under above validation process will be automatically downgraded. In 

addition, DLA Transaction Services will assess the validity of transactions which bypass the 

F/AD I validation process as a result of alternative requisition submission; such as, Defense 

Supply Expert System (DESEX) input, using the requisition image transaction (MILSTRIP

legacy document identifier codes (DICs) CHI, CHA, BE9, and B99). Suspected abuses 

uncovered during the above edit process (to include those transactions downgraded by DLA 

Transaction Services) will be output to the Unauthorized Priority Designator Assignment Report 

(Appendix AP1.34).

17 Refer to ADC 1009A. Automatic downgrade for PD 01 requisitions will not be authorized pending 

implementation of the mark-for party as an alternate location for the authorized activity DoDAAC.

1. DLA Concur.

DLA Disposition Services has confirmed that the 

Mark-for Party (Code Z7) does not apply to DRO.

Noted.

ADC updated as requested.

2. Air Force Air Force concurs with the following comment:

After reviewing the code used on the handheld to 

parse the 2D barcode for Asset Management, we 

have determined that adding this additional data 

described in PDC 1009A would not have an impact 

on existing ILS-S functionality. The new barcode 

will need to be tested to ensure 100% confidence.

Initial comments: (responses inserted):

If DLMSO adds fields to the 1348 bar codes it may 

cause AF/ILS-S to not properly read some of the 

data due to parsing changes. Air Force (ILS-S)

needs to know how the new data is going to be 

parsed into the existing barcode?

From there we can better determine the impact of 

this PDC.

>>DLMSO: Does the AF support including the 

Mark For in the 2D bar code? 

>>USAF: Yes, the Air Force does support 

including the Mark For in the 2D bar code.

>>DLMSO: Is there a methodology for adding the 

data in a way that would make it easier for the AF 

to accept or drop with no impact? 

>>USAF: Yes, as long as there is a new Data 

Identifier (DI) used to identify the Mark For field 

then it should not break our existing coding. 

>>DLMSO: This PDC did not discuss the new DI 

as it was yet to be determined. 

>>USAF: The Air Force would still need to 

conduct testing to ensure the new information

doesn't cause problems in our existing code.

Noted.

3. Army Concur.

DLMSO noted the following Army concern during 

discussions with GCSS-Army for implementation 

of the EMALL funds validation interface: The 

GCSS-A ERP will need sufficient lead time to able

to properly process supply/shipment status for 

EMALL GPC purchases. This is due to the current 

processing rules that do not interpret method of 

payment. Since the document number would not 

match an existing obligation, GCSS-A would 

incorrect create a new obligation for each document 

number even.

4. Navy Concur.

Initial comments/questions (responses inserted):

1. Please clarify the use of Signal Code B and C. 

Which one should be used for EMALL orders? 

Both seem to be referenced in the document. 

>>Response: Most EMALL requisitions will use 

Signal Code B for GPC. The idea is to only use 

Signal Code L when the requisitioner DoDAAC is 

different from the ship-to DoDAAC and GPC 

applies. This will allow us to identify the EMALL 

GPC DoDAAC as the bill-to (in DLMS format and 

in third party billing table). The PDC guidance for 

use of Signal Code C is not targeted to EMALL

GPC; it is primarily to clarify that the value of the 

DoDAAC is supposed to be populated in the 

DLMS transaction by whatever system is initiating 

or will be added by DAAS for systems processing 

the DLMS transaction. Goal there is to eventually 

eliminate the need for separate conversion table 

maintained at DLA Trans Svcs.

2. When Bill To or Ship To is transmitted to 

DAAS - will they be passed as sent or will they be 

re-derived when the transactions is translated back 

to DLMS?

>>Response: Currently, all DLMS transactions are 

converted back to legacy format for basic 

MILSTRIP edits and then translated back to DLMS

and extended data re-inserted.

3. Should the Bill To be transmitted for all Signal 

Code C and L transactions - or just for EMALL at 

first?

>>Response: We do want Navy ERP to populate 

the DLMS bill-to DoDAAC for Signal Code C and 

L. This should be part of your DLMS full 

compliance transition plan.

4. Implementation within 1 year after approval will 

be very difficult...and very unlikely. This requires 

MANY changes to our system.

to what can be done within 1 year (or maybe 18 

months) vs. what will take additional time.

I took a quick look at this and am very concerned 

about how the "ship to" and "mark for" information 

will be carried over to the MSL. There has always 

been difficulty at the system margins concerning 

what "consignee" means. It has never been clearly 

identified in terms of the "supply chain" with 

regard to "ship to" or "mark for". 

How would you populate the DLM 4000.25-1, 

AP1.35 graphic that shows an address for the 

"Ultimate Consignee/Mark For" address in Block 

27? We now have a data cell in the MSL for this 

data. Where is the supply system getting that data? 

Would it be as noted in the ADC 1009A change to 

AP1.1.7.2.5 (with reference to AP1.31)? If so and 

there is a POE, does the POE code get entered in 

the address label block as well as the "Ship to" and 

the "Mark For" address data?

If only the POE is entered in the block, then how 

will the address label get the item to the consignee?

This is a long-standing 

terminology issue that exists 

between supply and 

transportation. The bottom

line is that ship-to in 

transportation and supply 

mean very different things in 

the pipeline.

In supply, the ship-to is the 

customer to receive the 

materiel and take it up on 

their property book; the 

mark-for is an entity within 

the customer's realm to 

ultimately consume the stuff. 

On the MSL, the shipto/POE is defined by 

transportation 

planning/routing. That is,

the POE is the port or the 

transportation ship-to is the 

transportation receiving 

dock/warehouse at

Question: Is the slash (/) intended to be counted as 

part of the 24 characters?

Response: The intent was not to include the slash 

in transactions. It was inserted for display so that 

the RIC or DoDAAC wouldn't run into the text. 

We were trying to work within the limited character 

space that

DSS already has available and didn't want to waste 

any space by other ways to separate the values.

Question: Is there a reason to encode the text, RIC, 

and DODAAC as separate values? If the slash (/) is 

included in the encoded string, it is very easy to 

parse out the RIC or DODAAC from the 24 

characters just based on the number of characters in 

the RIC (3) or DODAAC (6). If the string can be 

encoded as a single value, using the EDIFACT 

3035 code of "HR" as noted below becomes very 

straight forward because it could be used for 

instances of mark-for text, RIC, and DODAAC. 

Response: Logical, but we always promote using 

discrete data mapping for the DLMS. Since we are 

using the N1 segment for Mark-forParty we are 

mapping to the three separate qualifiers for 

expressing the mark for as text, DoDAAC, and RIC 

(all of which were already in the ICs).

Another question: Will the DODAAC assigned 

address structure be modified to accept the extra 

line of data for the mark-for party?

The draft Enclosure 1, Item 2 states, "Use [markfor party] to identify an entity located within the 

ship-to address that is to actually receive the 

material."

The draft AP1.1.7.2.5 states "If mark-for data is 

required, enter the mark-for data above the 

city/state/zip code data." 

This will affect the figures in DLM 4000.25-1 

destination to receive the 

shipment from the carrier, 

who will eventually turn it 

over to the supply ship-to 

customer. The ultimate 

consignee is the supply shipto customer. The MSL may 

not be able to handle both an 

ultimate consignee and 

mark-for, so it would better 

for the supply ship-to to 

show up in the ultimate 

consignee field of the MSL. 

The 1348-1A barcode would 

then have the supply ship-to 

and the supply mark-for, so 

that the customer can scan 

the barcode and process the 

supply receipt to the property 

book and turn the materiel 

over to the appropriate entity 

within that supply customer.

For some shipments moving 

to OCONUS destinations, 

the POE is provided in the 

MILSTRIP shipment status, 

but the POE has not be 

identified as a requirement 

for the 2D bar code.

AP1.35, AP1.25, and the MSL. I did not see those 

changes in the ADC. I believe the DODAAC 

allowed address is only 4 lines of 35 characters. I 

also recall something about international addresses 

now requiring 5 lines of data for the country code. 

8. GSA DLA Transaction Services is authorized to proceed 

with deletion of Fund Code XP associated with a 

Department of Agriculture DoDAAC on the Fund 

Code to Billed DoDAAC Conversion Table. 

The staffing note requesting 

this action has been removed 

from the ADC. This was the 

only existing use of Fund 

Code XP that would conflict 

with the planned use under 

the approved change.
